gage, but s tltis aavantage wa3 not sufficient to coun terbalance the,hardships to which the army Would have been e)tposed . during a march of fourteen days, through a misciable, mountainous, and desolate country. The Emperor adopted no plan which might pro craSticat; his entrance into Vienna'evert fora day, ac he rightly conjeaured, that in the state al ex citation Which prevailed, it would be attempted to' present some obsiacles by defending the; town, which has a very good breast-work, provided with bastions: iLliides, his army of Italy demanded all his attention, and the idea that the Austrians wens in possession of his . fine provinces of Frioli and Piave, never permitted him to repose. The puke of Auetstadt was posted before Ratis- boll when Prince CiIARLES retreated into Bohemia; but be immediately proceeded by Passau and l i intz to the left Bank of the R.thube, thus gaining four. marches op that Prince, The corps of the Prince of • Poute,Corvo acted upq a like system, aratuade a movement towards Egra, which obliged Prince CitA a t:cs to dire& the corps of General .4et.t. EGA 'ME towards the same point; but the Prince of Ponte Corvo made a. bald counter march towards Lintz, which he retched before Generdi 13141.Lioaarm,Who, • being aware of. this counter march, had aiad moved towards the Danube, These mance r avres, perfortned from day to day, according to circumstances, have delivered, Italy, have thrown the barriers of the lun, of the Seize, of the Traun, 'and 'alt the enemy's magazines, out of defence; have reducediVienna, have disolved the militia and tht Landweher, have completed the overthrow of the corps of the Archduke LEWIS and. General litt.t.ei, and have still farther witheied the fame of the enemy's General. • This Commander being aware of the march of the Emperor, it. became necessary for him to make a movement towards Lintz, in order to pass the bridge, and unite with the . corps of the Archduke Ltwxs-.and . General The French army however wit's. there some days before he could ap. proaCh , to: form .a jundion. kle imagined, per haps that - he would be able to form his junaionat gems, but that. was a vain hope. He was again four days too late, and General Brea, when lie passed the Danube, was' obliged to burn •the fine bridge of Keats. he hoped to be able to of fee; a junaion at Vienna, but be wdsonet more am tal , days: behind, . The Emperor .has. caused a bridge to be thrOwti Over the Danube, at the village of Ebersdorf, two leagues below Vienna. The river is at this place di vided into several branches, and is 400 toiacie-brcsd. This work:was only commenced yesterday, at four o'clock-in the.afternoon. Motrroa's division was cinveyed acrescto the left bank, and routed the weak detachments which disputed the ground with it, and attempted to cover the furthest branch of the river, . Generals BUTIIAND and PARNETTt are superin tending ,. the, construetion of two bridges, of which one is more than .9.40, and the other more than lao ipiset long, and which communicate in the middle - of the river by an island. It is hoped that the. warks.will be finished to-morrow. MI the accounts we. receive induce us to believe that the Entperor of Austria is in Zanim, There is still 00 rising in Hungary !

Among the articles attached to the above Bulletin is the iolloWidg report, ,yhich is inserted bere for the purpwc of completing the narrative of the mili tary event,. . This report, which is addressed by the. Viceroy io the Minister at War, mentions that' the Arch duke JOHN notified the commencement of hoai ties on the 10th of April. An action was fought on the i6th, ibetWeen Pord,mbne. and Sacile, in which the French cavairycooldoot come up in time owing to the overflowing of the rivers. The Vice roy crossed the LiVenza, and the Piave to prevent hiS retreat from , being cut off. But a division of ten thousand men arrived" on the 23d from Tus cany. These consisted of excellent troops. The Viceroy then thought ,fit to take the position of Caldero, and the Adige, and left garrisons at Palma Nova, Ocopo, and Venice. INleauwhile the ArChduke JOHN, who was recalled to sup port Vienna, 'lagvitv his *retreat- on the sot h.-14 Vicenza, Treviso, and Padua, were immediate ly retaken. The Brenta was passed in good order, ,the enemy being , repelsed with loss. The enenty, . more vigorously pursued than - he expeaed, and driven:back more quickly than lie advanced, drew up in order of battle on the oilier side, of the Piave, with his left wing towards the hills; and his right . on the road to Conegliano. The Viceroy in stantly perceived the defeat in his disposition. — : - He formed an advanc e d guard of 5000 Voltigeurs, under the command of General Desstx, which he supported by the cavalry, 10,090 strong. On the Oh he crossed, the Piave, and advanced between the road of Conegliano and '.the Lake. The ad vanced guard was reinforced by, the corps of Ge- • nerals GRIMIER and IVlAcnotiALn, and the enemy's army was thrown into complete disorder. Sixteen harnessed cannon, thirty caissons taken, General WOLVSKE, Commander of the Cavalry, killed, other two. Generals died of their woundS; General HAL GEMS, and the Geneial commanding the artillery, taken ; a considerable number of the enemy!s,troops killed, and 4000 of them made prisoners, were among the trophies of that brilliant day. On,the 9th inst. the head-quarters were at .Conegliano, 'and . 1 were rapidly advanced towards the Tagliamento. The cloud with which the afi'airs• of Daly were for a moment overcast, has given the Emperor the opportunity of discovering the , secret sentiments of thie Italians. In letters which‘we have intercepted, the enemy complains, that all the subje of the kingdom 'of Italy are attached to the Emperor Xi rot.sorr, Vicenza; Treviso, and Udino, have vied with each other in giving proofs of loyalty.. They received the' enemy coldly, and never ceased for. moment to chew their convidion that they wonld soon be freed from them, It is , said that sine in habitants .of Padua.only deserve to be excluded Ito this tribute of 'praise. When the first accounts of the battle of Abeni. berg were received at Milan, and when his Majesty's Chamberlain, M. CAvALarrr, arrived , there with the news of the vietories of Eektuuhl, the joy which, was diSplayed by the people,is indiscribaule. , r TARVIS, 'MAY I7.—The batile,funglit this day, has covered the Italian army with glory. -This morning the Viceroy took, by storm, fort Mal borghetto, which the Austrians call the bulwark of Carinthia.

There are about 700 in the town, and the remainder are cantoned in the neighbourhood. It is believed that they will soon take their departure to embark if possible. On the 24th, the little fortress of Dimetrv, Which was surprised by Scrwa. on the 15th, was retaken by a Company of Dutch grenadiers and some voltigeurs belonging to General ALBIGNAC'S corps. ' A great number of insurgents were killed, and the remainder made Prisotters on this occasion. A number of persons who had been carried off by ScUJLL were set at liberty ; 150 boats which • bad been removed to the other side. of the Elbe, and some of 'which were loaded with ScuiLL'i amniuni tion and other property were taken.
